SALEM – The Oregon Department of Transportation will avoid layoffs and deep service cuts following the passage of legislation that addresses a $297 million budget shortfall for the agency’s maintenance and operations work.

The action prevents layoffs and widespread service reductions that would otherwise have disrupted daily travel and essential services. Highway maintenance crews will remain on the job, safety and storm response operations will continue, and DMV offices will remain open to serve customers.

The legislation redirects $218 million from existing state transportation funds to support operations and maintenance. As a result, some programs will see impacts, including delayed or reduced grant funding for programs such as Safe Routes to School and Connect Oregon. Safe Routes to School funds projects that improve safety for students walking and biking to school. Connect Oregon is a state grant program that invests in aviation, rail and marine projects.

“This legislative action provides important short-term stability for Oregon’s transportation system,” said Interim Director Lisa Sumption. “It allows us to avoid deep reductions while continuing to focus on providing the services Oregonians rely on. At the same time, redirecting existing funds from programs that serve important functions is not a long-term solution. Oregon’s transportation system needs a long-term fix.”

In addition to the fund redirections, the legislatively adopted budget reduces ODOT’s authorized spending levels by nearly $80 million. These reductions build on steps ODOT has already taken in recent years to control costs, including leaving positions unfilled. Since 2019, the agency has reduced spending by more than $500 million, and the current budget already reflects more than $200 million in reductions.

ODOT currently has about 700 vacant positions statewide, representing nearly 15% of the agency’s workforce. More than 350 of those vacancies resulted from employees leaving the agency during ongoing financial uncertainty since July 2025.

Under the newly adopted budget, the agency will continue to leave more than 130 positions unfilled. The department expects to begin hiring for critical vacancies immediately, which will help restore staffing in key areas and strengthen frontline teams across the state.

While this legislative action stabilizes operations for the remainder of the current budget cycle, it does not resolve the underlying funding challenges facing Oregon’s State Highway Fund. That fund supports not only ODOT, but cities and counties across the state. The current funding model is not keeping pace with rising costs and growing statewide needs. Lawmakers have stated they plan to revisit transportation funding during the 2027 legislative session.

Salem fast tracks bill over citizen objections

Salem fast tracks bill over citizen objections
Salem Capital building

SALEM, Ore. — Today, House Democrats, including David GombergRep David Gomberg (D, Otis) passed Senate Bill 1599, effectively ignoring the
overwhelming majority of Oregonians who opposed it in public testimony; and disregarding
the warning by the Secretary of the State, who cautioned that failing to pass the bill by the
February 25 deadline would risk denying voters a “fair and equal chance” to participate in
the democratic process.
“By passing Senate Bill 1599, Democrats are sending a clear message to the more than
250,000 Oregonians who signed petitions, and the 4,600 Oregonians who opposed this bill,
that their voices don’t matter,” said House Republican Leader Lucetta Elmer (R, McMinnville). “In passing this bill, the majority party has shown that when upholding
democratic processes don’t work in their favor, they are willing to circumvent the law to
disenfranchise voters. This sets a dangerous precedent,” she added.
Since June 2025, Democrats have made multiple attempts to ask Oregonians to pay
more taxes to cover for their inability to hold ODOT accountable to its budget. In total,
approx. 7,500 Oregonians opposed these attempts in submitted testimony –
representing broad opposition towards new taxes and fees. Similarly, of the 4,670 pieces of
testimony submitted for Senate Bill 1599, 98.5% opposed it.

Day use fees for parks expands

Day use fees for parks expands

oregon state parksSALEM, Oregon— Starting March 30, 2026, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will no longer waive the parking fee at 22 additional day-use parks.

A day-use parking permit is currently $10 for in-state visitors and $12 for out-of-state visitors and is valid for the entire day of purchase at any Oregon state park.

Access to parks remains free for visitors who walk, bike, or use public transportation. Visitors who drive in can show valid parking by displaying a current hangtag from camping at an Oregon State Park or a current 12 or 24-month parking permit. Visitors who purchase parking permits online or via the parking QR codes can associate their license plates with valid payment.

Currently, OPRD requires a day-use parking permit at 46 parks and waives parking fees at over 150 parks across the state. The 22 additional parks were selected based on amenities and features that require maintenance and operation such as restrooms, trails, paving, irrigation, boat ramps and more. Parking fees help pay for maintenance, operation, and keep these offerings available for all visitors.

“These updates are about protecting the experiences visitors love,” said Interim Director Stefanie Coons. “We know fee changes are tough and we truly appreciate the support from visitors. These changes help us take care of things people count on like restrooms, boat ramps, and trails, so we can keep parks safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone.”

Oregon State Parks has three main sources of funding: a little less than half comes from constitutionally dedicated lottery funds, about 15% comes from recreational vehicle license plate fees and roughly 35% comes from park fees from visitors. It is not funded by general fund taxes.

For frequent visitors looking to save on parking, an annual parking permit is available for Oregon State Parks and can be purchased online. The 12-month parking permit costs $60 for Oregon residents. The 24-month parking permit is no longer for sale, but valid permits will be honored until they expire.

Additionally, March 30 also marks the start of a $10 fee at 19 RV dump stations across the park system. This fee helps cover the cost of maintaining this amenity and supports efforts toward more sustainable operations. Visitors can pay easily by scanning a QR code at the dump station or by paying online.

Whether you are visiting for the day or camping overnight, Oregon State Parks recommends that you visit the park webpage before your visit. Conditions can change quickly and some parks may have construction or seasonal closures.

Oregon state parks with parking fees added March 30, 2026:

Agate Beach State Recreation Area
Angel’s Rest Trailhead
Banks-Vernonia State Trail
Bob Straub State Park
Brian Booth State Park
